Local conversations with older people about local aged care issues have helped the ADA understand how they can better assist.
The events were held in Cairns and Townsville and included First Nations seniors and services.
ADA said a number of needs were identified:
aged care information events to be held regularly
greater awareness of what support is available in the community for older people
greater collaboration amongst local organisations and service providers
increase in funding as many aged care services are at capacity
assistance to navigate the complex aged care system.
Future events are planned. If you think this would be something that would work well in your local community, please get in touch with us on info@adaaustralia.com.au or phone 1800 700 600.
